On-loan Manchester City forward; Roque Santa Cruz has confirmed his not wanting to return to the English premier league due to family preference.
Santa Cruz who has had stints with Bayern Munich and Blackburn was tipped to make a big impression at Manchester City when Mark Hughes snapped him up for £17.5million in 2009.
After six months stay with Hughes City Roberto Mancini was brought to replace Hughes, it then that the Paraguay forward had several injury bout, he found himself surplus to requirements.
And the journey of loan spells began for Santa Cruz who after loan spells back at Blackburn and with Real Betis loaned again to another La Liga outfit, Malaga.
Santa Cruz has made six appearances for the high-flying Andalucian club as a substitute.
Sanata Cruz has said he is having a nice time at the club despite being a substitute and with that, when his City contract expires at the end of the season, he will not be heading back to England.
He said “I do not see myself going back to the Premier League because my family are very settled here and I do not want to keep bringing my children back and forth [between England and Spain]”.
“I want something stable for my family for the next few years. I would consider moving back to South America – something else I would love to do in the future.”
Santa Cruz has been very influential to the club’s progress especially in Malaga’s superb start to their maiden Champions League campaign.
